DreamWeaversDesigns is the name of my small business. I make and sell my work on Artfire, my website {DreamWeaversDesigns.net} and at craft shows throughout the year. Having a blog seemed a logical addition. My goal is to share information about my business and varied aspects of my work. I love polymer clay and hope to encourage others who may have a dream of their own.

I finally had some extra time to get some of my new frames posted on my ArtFire site. This first one was inspired by the Polymer Clay Smooshers Guild Celtic challenge. I have seen several tutorials for faux leather and just love the look. I combined this with one of my celtic knot stamps and voila! What do you think?

My daughter saw another frame I made using a sort of flower stamp. Green is her favorite color and she loves sunflowers, which the stamp reminded her of. So, she asked me to make her one. Of course, I did, however when she saw it, she said it didn't look like a sunflower at all. Oh well, I still like it.

I have a lot more ideas on other frames to make and want to start making them larger. Here is a bigger one that is not finished yet. It's made with stamped clay brushed with copper pearlex powder, that I cut into pieces for a mosaic type style. Have to finish the grouting yet.

It's the first time I have attempted this technique, so I am still critiquing the outcome. May have to tweek some here and there on my next one, but....live and learn, right?
